INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Business Continus Fairly Active and Prices,

Business Continue Fairly Active and Prices,

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 10.
There are practically no changes in the general
condition of trade. Dry goods men are moder-
ately busy in filing orders for sorting up stocks
and for such staples in constant demand.
Grocers report all staples strong at firm prices.
Cofees and sugars arc still firmly held. Canned
goods. which have of late years assumed so large
share in the grocery business are being
ceived in very large quantities, and are shipped
out almost soon as received, leaving poor
prospect of a supply for the late fall and winter
trade The hardware. leather, drug. iron, and
other branches of trade present no new features
The produce markets are practically unchanged.
Butter is still scarce and good grades are in de-
mand. Eggs and poultry are in good supply.
and prices steady. Fruits are in better supply.
Peaches q shade lower, and the quality i'm
proved Grapes are arriving more freely and in
better condition.
There was a better feeling on 'Change to-day.
especially in wheat and corn. The demand is
almost exclusively for local consumption, there
being scarcely any inquiry for shipment, and
none whatever on speculative account. The
opinions as to the condition and probable yield
of corn are as various as could be conceived, but
it is fair to assume that Indiana will after all
harvest such a crop will prevent any marked
degree of suffering. Closing bids on Change
were as follows:
